EDITOR’S NOTE: The UI Athletics Department and cooperation with the Iowa Farm Bureau stages the annual ANF Day at the Game this Saturday when the undefeated Iowa football team entertain Pitt at 7 p.m., inside historic Kinnick Stadium. The event includes the public introduction of the 2015 ANF Wall of Honor inductee, former Hawkeye All-American and 2003 Outland Trophy winner Robert Gallery. The following was written by Dirck Steimel and first appeared in “The Spokesman,” a newspaper produced by the Iowa Farm Bureau and distributed to more than 95,000 Iowans.

You can bet a lot of memories, both good and bad, will be in play this weekend when the 30th anniversary of the America Needs Farmers – ANF -- is celebrated at Kinnick Stadium Saturday afternoon and evening.
